elverno Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Tom, welcome to CoinPeople! What you describe sounds a lot like a medal. Any chance you could put up some pictures? If so, or not, start a topic in Exonumia and the experts there will try to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
